Nothing particularly wrong with that... but it seems a shame to me that Coventry seems to now be nothing more than a 'student city', with very little development that isn't in some way related to this.
and a 3 bed terrace in Earlsdon my daughter stayed in when at Warwick, that would typically have a market value of between £150K and £200k or rentable for £500-£600 per month, was converted to 5 bed student accomodation with facilities, poorly furnished and equipped, taking £1800 per month for 10 months Sept - June each year from 5 students.
